DOCTRINE
Together with the Westminster Confession upon which it was based, the historic London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689 stands as one of the most important statements of conservative evangelical understanding, telling us what the Bible says about the Faith. Because it was written in the century following the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, and because the English language itself had matured, it presents both timeless truths which have not changed, and one of the most clear statements of those truths, unhampered by modern issues and contentions.
The study goes through the topics of the Confession in sequence, asks the student to look up in the Bible the key references, and pin-points the meaning of key statements in the Confession itself. It is invaluable to the layman for personal enlightenment, to the church for group discussion and unity, and to the pastor for building up his flock.
The Doctrines of Grace is an overview of all scriptures in the Gospel of John which relate to the five classical doctrines of salvation (known as T.U.L.I.P.), and an explanation of these doctrines. They follow the historic interpretations of Augustine, John Calvin, George Whitefield, Charles Spurgeon, and other orthodox reformed Protestants. They were formulated at the Synod of Dort in 1619, in an official response to the proposals of the followers of Jacobus Arminius (who had died in 1609).
Understanding both the doctrines and how they fit together will resolve some conflicts in individual believers today: increased worship of the Sovereign God (bowing to His authority), humility before God (exalting Him versus ourselves), and devotion to God in worship, witness, and works.
